Shadowprowler socketed with +8 agi, +4 agi and +6 stam, +8 hit, would give these stats for comparison (using new HotW +10% AP and BoK), in a raid environment:

Shadowprowler: ~145 AP, ~ 2,3% crit, 16 hit

Hibernation: ~165 AP, ~ 2% crit, ignore 150 armor

Now, if you gotta switch to bear, these will be your benefits with Hibernation:

+ 23.4 stam+ 1388 armor~ -0.53% dodge

A little less dodge, but way more armor and stam.

I already had Shadowprowler crafted day one, not sure wether or not im spending 75 badges on that, since theres a lot of new badges rewards way more rewarding.

If you don't need the sockets, this is better than T4 if you aren't worried about the 1400 4pc armor bonus (and you only have 4/5 T4). I'm also looking at this from a DKP standpoint, I'd not spend DKP on my T4 if I can get this simply to save my DKP for T5/T6 grade items.

yeah 75 badges really wouldnt take that long, if your guild is even semi-farming kara and will be starting ZA on patch day, you will have lots of badges per week.

You figure if you clear kara a week thats like 12 badges? if each boss dropps 1, and if some drop 2, its ez mode.

ZA full clear every 3 days, is 24 badges, if you do the event and get all 6 bosses (from what i read anyways)

Then you have daily heroic quests, and these range from killing x boss to killing x number of mobs, which are easy as well.

So if you can average a few heroics a day, plus the dailys's i could see myself getting this in about 2 weeks, maybe less, i'm already saving up my badges this week, i'll need a total of 205 badges for the new tanking cloak, bracers, boots and this chest, and it's the best gear possible pre-raiding in the game, period, and for me, on my alt druid these items will be extremely nice.

later

Another nice side effect from attaining your badges from Heroics is you get better rep items/recipes from the faction vendors.

kitty DPS chest are you insane ? this is clearly one of the best tanking chest's out there for a druid. that much agi gives it alot of dodge.. not mainly DPS. get your facts straight.
